Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Grate the zucchini on a coarse grater until you have 2.5 cups. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Mix and let sit for 10 minutes. Then squeeze out the excess water.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk the eggs well and add 0.25 teaspoons of salt, a bit of pepper, chopped basil leaves, parsley, and half of the Parmesan.
Step 3
Heat a skillet well. Add the bacon and fry until crispy for 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel.
Step 4
Leave 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet and add the grated zucchini. Sauté over high heat for 3 minutes, stirring.
Step 5
Meanwhile, chop the bacon into small pieces and add it to the egg mixture.
Step 6
To the zucchini, add the finely chopped small tomato and finely chopped green onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add pieces of butter and mix well.
Step 7
Transfer the vegetable mixture to an ovenproof skillet. Whisk the eggs again and gently pour them over the vegetables without stirring, giving the skillet a slight shake. Set over medium heat and cook for 4 minutes.
Step 8
Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and place under the broiler for 2 minutes. Check the doneness of the eggs and, if necessary, return to the oven for another 40-60 seconds. Cool for 5 minutes and carefully transfer to a plate. Cut into wedges and serve.
